Exploring the Benefits of Veterinary Telemedicine: A Fear Free Future
Veterinary telemedicine holds tremendous potential for improving animal welfare by increasing veterinary access for pet owners, reducing unnecessary pet fear, anxiety, and stress, and enhancing shelter programs. While federal and state laws have expanded access to telemedicine for people, telemedicine for pets remains limited, so the ASPCA is working with state lawmakers across the country to expand access to veterinary care, which can help bridge gaps in care caused by workforce shortages and help keep pets in loving homes. Join ASPCA experts for a special webinar hosted by Fear Free to learn about the ASPCA’s work to improve access to veterinary care through telemedicine and how you can get involved to help pass laws that effectively empower veterinarians to use telemedicine technology to help more animals in need.
